Back when I worked at Apple selling to large corporations in 2002, I had a customer that was a large publishing house. The were running a Macintosh Performa that was 10 years old supporting a key printing press that ran 24 hours a day. I asked "What is your plan when it finally craps out?" They answered "We have not figured that out yet, that is why we called you." O.o
Other times I would run into other large customers that even had Mac Classic running as print servers that they would keep up for $hits and giggles. They just refused to die.

If it works, why not? So many P.O.S. systems are still running on something like Win 3.1 with dot matrix printers.

If it ain't broke, don't fix it.
